Do you Know

Information listed here may probably be new to you. Don't hesitate to give it a try. And if somebody can, explain reasons.

MAGIC #1

An Indian discovered that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the computer which can be named as "CON". This is something pretty cool...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened!
TRY IT NOW ,IT WILL NOT CREATE " CON " FOLDER


MAGIC #2
For those of you using Windows, do the following:

1.) Open an empty notepad file
2.) Type "Bush hid the facts" (without the quotes)
3.) Save it as whatever you want.
4..) Close it, and re-open it.

is it just a really weird bug? :-??


MAGIC #3
microsoft crazy facts


This is something pretty cool and neat...and unbelievable... At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened!

It was discovered by a Brazilian. Try it out yourself...

Open Microsoft Word and type

=rand (200, 99)

And then press ENTER
then see the magic................................


Imazing huh!!!

#1 yup thats crazy.

#2 do you mean label the file or put the text in the file?

#3 http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_is_ran..._myth_rand.htm


another bug i found is create a folder with # at the start of the folder name, like #fast, then create a mht file in the folder, drag a shortcut of the mht file to the desktop, now use the shortcut to access the file.

For #2 you need to put the text inside the file.

[JohnWill]

#1 is simple, CON is a reserved system name. Try creating a folder with the name PRN and see what happens? Or, try creating one with any of the names LPT1 ... LPT9, same result. These are all reserved system names, just as you can't put a $ or a ? in a folder name.

#2, see shot of NOTEPAD file below after saving then opening the file again. Next?

#3, I opened Word 2007 and typed in your exact phrase, AAMOF I copied and pasted it from your post. It just appears in the document. Next, I opened a new document and hand typed it in, again it just appeared. Next?


Your "amazing facts" are zero for three.

In the XP version of Notepad, I see this



And the Word bug, using Word 2000, I see the phrase:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
written a hundred+ times.

This is wild, U_Tube this and see what happens ?.......Window$ people.I don't know, that's why I learning on a Mac OS 10.5. I got one 1 at a auction (pretty cheap too) and slowly but surely, getting the hang of it.

[JohnWill]

I have Word 2007 and Windows 7 Ultimate.

In XP for the notepad thing I get.

[060456F]

Both in Vista and 7, the magic #2 is solved. Also the magic #1 is warned. In xp you don't get any type of message that the 'CON' is an invalid name. But both in Vista and 7 you get.
But I have another magic to show. But this time it's common to XP, Vista and even in new Windows 7. Let's expect Microsoft to solve this issue in its next OS. I don't know whether anybody else have published this issue, in a forum like this or whether microsoft aware about this.. Of coarse this is not an issue in fact. Let me tell that :

The problem is :You can't display the content of a .chm file in Windows if its name contains the character '#', eventhough '#' is a valid character to name a file. When you open a .chm, with such a character in its name, it displays blank in the right side, but still dispays the content tabs in the left pane.
The problem still exist even if the .chm file is named with or without the '#' character, but includes in a folder which has the '#' character in its name. In this time when you open the file it says "Page cannot be displayed" in the right pane, and again displaying the content tabs in the left pane.

So what about this now.

[JohnWill]

Gee, I've never found anyone dumb enough to name a help file or folder with a #, so this issue never comes up.

[Mumbodog]

dumb enough

Nice comment.

[win2kpro]

I don't recall the exact command you could type in, but back around 1998 in AOL chats (the days of the "punters") there was a command that used CON and you could type in the command, enter it and all the machines running Win 98 in the room would reboot.

[JohnWill]

There are a number of bad things you can do at the command prompt, I'm sure I could come up with a number of ways to screw things up!

Remote Shutdown comes to mind, it's been around since the NT days.

[060456F]

JohnWill would have never found anybody dumb to name a help file or folder with the '#'. This is same as asking why somebody should name a folder with 'con'. I don't know why certain people are dumb to think in that way. The question is 'Why Windows is dumb to allow such a character to name a help file like .chm if it can't display it properly'.
I have lots of folder named with '#' both in Windows & Linux, and those contains many sub folders and other types of files like .pdf, working like a hell.

[JohnWill]

I have no idea why Windows does a lot of things. In any given Windows release, there are hundreds, and probably thousands of little bugs and inconsistencies, nature of the beast. Anything this large and build with the apparent loose quality control that it exhibits would have the same issue.

For many years I worked in the aerospace business, and our development was rigidly controlled and 100% independently tested. Bugs still creep into the finished product, and the stuff we build was not anything like the complexity of Windows, or even something like Microsoft Office.
